If you are looking for a place that blends ancient history, breathtaking nature, world-class cuisine, and an incredible cultural scene, now is the perfect time to consider Peru for your next trip. Why? It has just earned four awards at the World Travel Awards 2025, reaffirming its position as one of the world’s most outstanding destinations.
What recognitions did Peru receive at the World Travel Awards 2025?
Imagine savoring unique dishes in Lima, Arequipa, or Cusco—creations that blend Andean, Amazonian, and coastal ingredients in ways you will not find anywhere else. It is no surprise that one of Peru’s biggest wins was World’s Leading Culinary Destination 2025. Here, every meal is an unforgettable cultural and sensory experience.
Being named World’s Leading Cultural Destination 2025 also highlights the country’s living heritage. In Peru, you can connect with communities that preserve their traditions, festivals, and craftsmanship with pride. You can join local celebrations, visit artisan workshops, and immerse yourself in Inka heritage, Amazonian culture, and colonial influences—all in one journey.
In the Andean country, breathtaking nature and heritage are everywhere—there is no doubt about that. A clear example is the victory of the historic sanctuary of Machupicchu as World's Leading Tourist Attraction 2025. Here, you can walk the legendary Inka Trail, climb Huayna Picchu, or simply marvel at the iconic panorama that appears on almost every traveler’s bucket list.
Meanwhile, PROMPERÚ (the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Export and Tourism) earned the title of World's Leading Tourist Board 2025.

What should you add to your itinerary when visiting Peru after the World Travel Awards 2025?
Set aside at least two days in Lima to explore and enjoy Peru’s world-class gastronomy in the districts of Miraflores or Barranco. You can also soak in the coastal vibe in style at the many rooftops across the city overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Plan a getaway to Cusco and Machupicchu: breathe in the history and Inka legacy, explore on foot, and immerse yourself in the magic of the Sacred Valley.
Visit a rural or Amazonian region: this cultural recognition highlights that authentic, community-based experiences are just as valuable as the monumental ones.
Leave room for the unexpected: a casual lunch at a local market, chatting with artisans, or trying regional beverages. These small moments make all the difference.
Make the most of these recognitions: being in an award-winning destination gives you every reason to choose highly rated accommodations, reliable tours, and enjoy your trip with complete peace of mind.
Peru has just claimed four of the world’s most coveted tourism awards. This means your visit becomes more than a trip — it becomes an experience backed by international excellence. Whether you are savoring a fresh Cebiche, dancing to the rhythm of an Andean celebration, or watching the silhouette of Machupicchu at sunrise, you are in a destination that truly has it all. Now you know it — an award-winning Peru is waiting for you!
